asana15 16,648 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 It is undeniable at this time - her impact on popular music. Debates can be held as to how big it was/is, but not regarding the event itself. And as more time passes by between now and 2008, it will be all so more obvious. "...Twenty-first-century pop music can be divided into two parts: Before Gaga (BG) and After Gaga (AG). The crash landing of Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta’s debut Lady Gaga single, “Just Dance,” on April 8, 2008, exploded the pop landscape in a shimmer of glitter, hairspray, and, rather triumphantly, dance music. Nothing felt the same in the genre after Gaga’s overnight success. The access fans had to their respective favorites shifted, becoming increasingly more direct; artists drove conversations around identity politics, and fans felt inspired to openly participate; the music that began dominating the Billboard Top 100 and radio waves changed. It was a seismic moment, one that set off shock waves we still feel today...." "Now, Lady Gaga was not the first pop star to introduce dance elements into her music. Kylie Minogue’s album X, released in November 2007, is a clear predecessor to Gaga’s sound... However, Minogue and, to a certain extent, Madonna, whose 2007 album Confessions on a Dance Floor is also important to the genre, weren’t clued into the growing presence of social media the way Gaga was...both Minogue and Madonna were living legends by the time “Just Dance” came out, already enjoying massive, stable fan bases.... After “Just Dance” came out, the landscape shifted toward the frenetic, tweetable, what-in-god’s-name-is-that-person-wearing future....At the same time, new communities were being formed online. Social media was fostering a new type of fan, the stan, and the pop stars were interacting with them, giving them content, clues, and daily updates unheard of during the early 2000s... The vibes once secluded to age-restricted clubs became available to the masses and dancing became a unifying thing, as it once was during other economic down spells, like the disco-heavy ’70s and electronica in the ’90s. Gaga didn’t do it by herself, but she gave the okay to thousands of kids to let go. So we, as a whole, did. And we’ve been dancing ever since. https://nylon.com/articles/april-2008-lady-gaga-just-dance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
